GymBabe ~ Lesson 2

Little En receives her goody bag today which includes a personalised TumbleTots T (which she has to wear for her subsequent lesson). En's first "school uniform" WOW !


Lesson 2 starts with warming up exercise in the central exercise mat. Little En has more classmates today. 1 which switch from Saturday class, 2 for trial & her last week classmate. There is one less trainer today, so the 2 trainers were kept busy with today's turnout.

Mommy massaging En's little toes

We first started off with the station that En did well last week ~ the "catwalk" station. To warm the little one up so that she knows what to expect later. En has so many classmates today and she's a bit distracted. Took us awhile before we accomplish the task.

Then we tried the "pitches" station. En did well this time ! She managed to overcome them and move to the end. Well done!

The little one was tired so we put her into the "pool" to chill out. She met her last week classmate and both had some fun.

We put the little one on the "beam" station and she did well ! With the help of little red ball, she managed to crawl on the beam to the little house. At the end of the beam, the little one is suppose to turn around and buttocks down first to come down to ground level. Still brushing up her skills on this.

Next, the trainer gave En a red barrel. En is to push the barrel and walk at the same time. Mommy's role is to control the roll of the barrel. En had lotsa fun with it and she did great !

By this time, Mommy is getting tired and decides to let the little one has a little fun on the bouncer. She sits there playing with the alpha blocks while Mommy bounces her on it. Purpose is to let the little one has some thrill of bouncing.

The trainer came over and gave En two poles, where she has to hold onto them and walk. EnEn did it !!! Daddy n Mommy are both very impressed by the little one. She is able to coordinate her hand and leg and walk for quite some distance.

The little one is bursting with energy and attempts to climb up the ladder. BB En isn't sure how to go up. Mommy has to guide her to lift her hand and leg to move up. And En learn fast ! She'll attempt to move up coordinating her hand and leg and moving upwards.

By now, lesson is ending. And its massaging + cool down time.

A sticker to motivate the little one at the end of class.

Wedding dinner ~ Kelvin & Jolynn

Uncle Roy, Auntie Adeline, Daddy, Mommy & Little En

It's Kelvin & Jolynn's big day today. Met the couple during our honeymoon trip, which is 3 years back.. OMG ! 3 Years ago!

The dinner is held at Marina Mandarin. Nice food and service! We manage to catch up with the other honeymoon couple, Roy & Adeline. It's been 2 + years since we met up... only emailing, msn-ing each other these years. A pity Ching Liang & Huimin (the other honeymoon couple) couldn't make it.

En behaves good throughout the dinner. Good job En =)

The 2 Little Cousins

EnEn with little Chloe

Both born in the same year but Chloe is a Jan baby and En is a Oct baby.

Prezzie from Auntie Adeline Yeo ~

Mommy met Auntie Ade for lunch today and she has a belated prezzie for the little one. So thoughtful of her !

Prezzie from Auntie JJ ~

Auntie JJ went on a Hokkaido/ Japan trip recently and bought this cute little bolster for BB En. So sweet of Auntie JJ !

GymBabe En !

Mommy enrols En for a trial lesson at TumbleTots.

Coz En is still cruising around, not yet walking, so Mommy registers BB En in GymBabe class (for 6months old to walking). Main thing is to let BB En interact with other bbs to develop her social skill + physical skills from the physical activities.

En's Name Tag

It's a quiet Sunday morning class and EnEn has one classmate (also for trial lesson). The class starts with some warm up exercising + massaging. Next is free physical playtime. Before Mommy and BB En zoom off to the different stations, the trainers explain the purpose for each station and what the gymbabes are supposed to learn from each.

EnEn fared well in her first station. She's to hold on to the side and learn to coordinate hand and leg and walk. Main thing is to walk on the beam coz babies tend to walk with feet facing outward. So have to train them to walk straight. Hmm abit like catwalk haha.

2nd station is an obstacle course. EnEn has to coordinate her hand and leg to move across the "pitches". BB En got mad and cry coz the trainers + mommy were each quipping at her on what to do.

"Why Mommy make me attend this stoopid class"

So Mommy brought her to this "Sea of Balls" to cool and calm her down. Gymbabes are easily tired, so after 1 or 2 stations, Mommies can bring them here to chill out.

After a while, EnEn attempts 3rd station. This is a long tunnel whereby the gymbabes have to crawl through it. Purpose is to overcome fear of darkness. Well, BB En refuses to budge. She's more interested in the rattle on hand.

An attempt at the beam station, BB En has to crawl up a cushion that was placed at 45 deg against the beam that was hedged. She is to crawl/ walk on it. Main thing is to let the little one overcome fear of height.

EnEn still refuses to move. She's shy to the new surroundings and trainers. The trainers have had a hard time coaxing her. Sing song, blow bubbles, using toys to attract her attention.


At the end of the day's lesson, mommies and gymbabes will gather at the central mattress to do some massaging to cool down. Mommies and gymbabes are tired by the end of lesson. To motivate the gymbabes, trainers will reward them with a sticker each =)

Ok... Mommy decides to enrol BB En in GymBabe class. She'll definitely do better the next time !

"No"

EnEn refuses to sit in her stroller when we bring her out today. Luckily its just a short grocery shopping trip at Giant. Must try to make her sit next outing.
